Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional α-helical cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues, which is known particularly for its role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. IL-6 protein is secreted by a variety of cell types including T cells and macrophages as phosphorylated and variably glycosylated molecule. It exerts actions through the its heterodimeric receptor composed of IL-6R that lacks the tyrosine/kinase domain and binds IL-6 with low affinity, and ubiquitously expressed glycoprotein 130 (gp130) that binds the IL-6. IL-6R complex with high affinity and thus transduces signals. IL-6 is also involved in hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression, and has been defined an essential role in directing transition from innate to acquired immunity.Immune Checkpoint Immunotherapy Cancer Immunotherapy Targeted Therapy

| Active Protein | Active protein |
| Activity | 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human IL-6 at 8 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human IL6R with a linear range of 1.25-20.0 ng/mL.2. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.75-3 ng/mL. The specific activity of Recombinant Human IL-6 is approximately 0.35 × 105 IU/μg.3. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. 2.Immobilized human IL6 at 10μg/mL (100μL/well) can bind human IL6R-His, the EC50 of human IL6R-His is 0.1-0.5 μg/mL. |
